Day Thirty-Nine - somewhere near Battersea Park, SW8



Why is it I've taken so many photos around Battersea Park? Well, it's because the train tends to stop either in or near the station for ages, waiting to get into Victoria, and I tend to get bored and take my camera out.

The train stopped here for five minutes this morning. Then, just over the bridge and within sight of platform 9 at Victoria, we sat for twenty minutes for no readily apparent reason. An angry mob circled the driver as he eventually got out of his cab once we were in the station, demanding answers. He said that there were "problems in the station" and that his public address system was broken, honest, he had been making announcements but we couldn't hear them. The way he said it made it clear that it was, in fact, our fault that we couldn't hear him. Got to work in a pretty bad mood, not helped by the ridiculously low seats in the dilapidated old carriages they saw fit to put on today that made my back hurt like billy-o. Mumble grumble.
